In this case I'd be not so interested in the X-file, but some Blender 2.79 samples with both specular and pbr material would be great! The models don't have to be big, a car or something similar would be enough. For this, I am looking for models that have worked fine in Blender 2.79 and exported alright to the sim. So... I'm keen if you could help out, that'd be great!
The reason why I'd also like to see a MAX-generated X-file is the following:
From what I can gather, the Blender 2.79 addon still uses the FSX header for the material. I want to modify the exporter in a way that the resulting X-file looks identical to a Max file that uses the latest P3D SDK.
When you open Blender 2.79, you're presented with a "default". In Blender 2.8, is now replaced by the "Layout" view. Converting a scene from 2.79 to 2.8x will also import your scene's layout (which by the way may cause you some confusion later on, because in 2.8 the default position of various UI elements changed). It is possible that the "default" view from 2.79 is of the wrong type, which is why the panel might not show up.In the default view of which Blender is he referring to? V2.82 or v2.79, within v2.82 the default view it doesn't until you press 'N' key.
Could you please explain more how can we make use of the Source file from Blender 2.79 in Blender 2.8 without any problem like missing FSX/P3D toolset.When you open Blender 2.79, you're presented with a "default".

Do these help?Honestly, I dont' know. There must be a way to import the Blender 2.8 ui settings to a 2.79 scene, but I have no idea. If someone has a solution, please share it with us!
